Frontiers in Bioscience, an electronic journal and virtual library
An electronic journal and virtual library has been created in order to
facilitate rapid dissemination of scientific data as well as to provide
investigators with numerous online tools for use in their day-to-day
research activities. The publication cost is minimized or completely
eliminated. A section of the journal is dedicated to publishing
manuscripts that contain real time events.
Access to a large number of databases is quite easy from the journal.
These include databases for analysis of scientific data, search
strategies, dictionaries, atlases, tutorials, conferences, information on
products of various manufacturers, links to online journals and many
other valuable information. Access to the journal and these services is
free. The staff members of the journal are in the process of creation of
various databases. One such database on gene knockout is already online.
The journal can be accessed at the following address on WWW:

Although submission of data for publication in electronic platforms has
just begun, this method of distribution of scientific information would
certainly be the logical route of the future. The first volume of the
journal to be published around Jan 1996 will contain excellent
manuscripts. Please take a moment to examine the journal and consider to
send manuscripts for publication in this new and novel forum. The address
of the editorial office is as follows:
